Hello there, I would like to learn how to undervolt my CPU to get more performance but also lower temps. What will I need to do to make that happen?
I just don’t understand the process. I just need a explained process of it. The way of disabling the settings in the bios is straight forward. But to create the bios unlocked file is the thing I don’t understand.
Thanks in advance
Edit by Fernando: Thread title shortened and customized
Edit:
I will leave some Bios and Intel ME info
I will just like to know the files I need and the steps to do so.
Edit 2:
I used CSME System Tools v15.0 r13 with that I could dump my bios
So I follow first a YouTube Video to backup my bios and then I reflashed
I changed the name of the file that’s why it is different.
I did not changed anything inside the bios such as all BIOS passwords, disable secure boot, and disable TPM or Encryption
It did work without changing that. Do I need to do it anyways? Just to be sure
@Xperjo Hello there, I will try to mod your bios, but keep in mind that the bios could be rsa signed, that means that any change to the original rom will result in a brick, I highly advise you buy an spi programmer to flash stock bios in case of any brick
@Xperjo I modded you bios, increase tpl1 and pl2 values and time, reduced voltage by 50 mv, disable bios guard and other locks. Again, I recommend using spi programmer.
@Xperjo TL1 to 55watts, because of the heat you cant push to much, PL2 100w I belive, with max time 128 secs, 50mv from the core. keep in mind that pl1 is the base wattage of the cpu, the tdp of your cpu is 45 watts, if you put 90w you risk damage your cpu, you have to give the cpu some room to work with
@iModes
This bios mod is user specific! If you do, you can loose your serial numbers, LAN MAC ID, UUID etc.
You need to flash your mod based on your bios.
Firstly, take a capture of your bios window and show it.
Well, good news!
You have a correct bios version and you can re-flash it without any problems. So, it makes sense to make a bios mod.
You need to make a bios dump via FPTW64 ver.15.0.30.1716 tool click:
*back up your original bios-region >>>
fptw64.exe -d biosreg-fb07orig.bin -bios
Save this copy to the safety place and send it to me… I’ll make a modded bios for you, or help you with it step by step.
My bad that i don’t know how to send pm’s, I upload the file then here tomorrow.
Laptop is now off, and I am going to sleep
Good night an greetings from Germany
Edit:
Uploaded Bios file. click (swisstransfer).
@iModes Bios mod only for iModes
If you can’t find where disable secure boot, just ignore it. But if you can’t get access to the grub shell, I’ll explane how you can try to disable secure boot. Otherwise you will try RU.exe.
Please, respond to the result, take a shot of your bios
Actually it is the same bios, but with hidden menus. Firstly we unlock your current bios, then we can re-flash any new.
In some cases users firstly unlock current bios, after that make a bios dump of unlocked bios, then smb make a bios mod and a user re-flash it.
In your case we unlock bios just before flashing, so you re-flash locked bios mod with hidden menus. If you want to re-flash back your original bios you just need to unlock your modded bios by the same method(step 1) and the same command via grub
Any new bios version from gigabyte/aorus re-write bios mod.
One more thing…
*** WARNING - To ANYONE with laptop and unlocked BIOS!!! DO NOT try to enable this graphics card or disable that card, switch cards etc. Otherwise you will end up with no display output (ie black screen) and no way to recover except by blind flash or with flash programmer.
You can change graphics related settings, like changing memory sizes, or core speeds etc, just don’t try to disable one card or change which is main etc. Additionally, be very careful when trying to undervolt CPU, you can leave BIOS unbootable due to CPU voltage too low (Sometimes even 0.05 is too much) WARNING *** - The BIOS files above are user specific! If you are not those users DO NOT USE THESE BIOS!!
If you do, and you are not those users, then you will loose your serial, UUID, OG NVRAM, and possibly LAN MAC ID as well.
You have been warned!!!
Okay, I see, it will be harder then I think.
The only thing that I want is, that I can use my new 32GB of RAM at 3200 Mhz and maybe clock all cores to 5Ghz.
Can u help me how I make an bootable USB stick with rufus? Rufus need´s an image but there is no image in EFI folder.
Download Rufus, for example Rufus 2.18 or Rufus 2.18 portable,and open it as administrator.
Select from the device list your pendrive or card, with the following options, and hit Start. It will delete all the data on that device:
Partition scheme and target system type: MBR partition scheme for UEFI
File system: use FAT32.
Quick format
Uncheck “Make a bootable disk using”
Now, browse to the unit with Windows explorer (in my case it’s H: drive) and create the folder EFI on the root of the pendrive and another folder BOOT inside EFI.
Copy the downloaded file bootx64.efi to H:\EFI\BOOT
Now you have a bootable USB pendrive with grub shell.
Or just google it … how to make a bootable USB pendrive rufus
If everything is correct, you will get access to the grub shell.
Nope, you do not find this option in Windows. You can disable Secure Boot just via bios.
Actually you can try to run your bootable stick without disabled Secure Boot. If you get access to the grub shell, you will type the command, if not, I will explane you next step.
Nope, you will not lose anything, e.g windows key it is a part of your bios.
Yep, right. If a stick does not start disable Secure Boot via “BIOS->security->delete all secure boot variables”
Plz, inform me if you delete all secure boot variables(some users ignore that and it works too)
